Kentucky | NBA comparison: Andrew Bogut / Vlade Divac
||| Towns has the skill set down low similar to Divac and is a defensive presence like Bogut. Pick could be Okafor too but the Wolves get a big man to replace Love and run the show in Minnesota.
2. Lakers Jahlil Okafor
Duke | NBA comparison: More athletic Al Jefferson
||| He is huge like Al Jefferson but is defenitely more athletic and explosive but he has the footwork and can move people around like Big Al. LA gets a potential franchise player here and pair him with Randle and if the Lakers get Westbrook in free agency next year, look out.
3. 76er's D'Angelo Russel
Thee Ohio St. | NBA comparison: Brandon Roy
||| He was terrific as a freshman and put up probably the best numbers in this years freshman class at 19 points per game. He will be a combo guard at the next level. Hopefully the 76ers find their PG for the future here which apparently wasn't MCW.
4. Knicks Emmanuel Mudiay
China, Congo | NBA comparison: John Wall
||| Super athlete and scorer and could possibly end up being the best player in this draft. The Knicks could end up getting really lucky and get a franchise player here and really the Knicks need to address every position right now except SF.
5. Magic Justice Winslow
Duke | NBA comparison: Wilson Chandler
||| Some people compare him to Harden but I think Wilson Chandler is more accurate but he will probably end up getting a chance with the ball in his hand more than Chandler does. Orlando will probably need a SF as Harris will likely sign a big deal with the Knicks or Lakers or someone.
6. Kings Willie Trill Cauley Stein
Kentucky | NBA comparison: Tyson Chandler
||| Super athletic 7 footer who is a shot blocker rebounder with not much of an offensive game, although I hear he is working on his mid range game and that could make him an All Star if he consistently hits that. The Kings have needed a C who can block shots forever to pair with Cousins who could move to PF and this could put the Kings in the Playoffs.
7. Nuggets Mario Hezonja
Barcelona, Croatia | NBA comparison: Demare Carrol
||| He is white so everyone thinks he should be compared to a white guy (Rex Chapman) but I like the Carrol comparison but Mario is probably a better shooter. He is also really athletic and the Nuggets are in rebuild mode and the Nuggets could load up on white foreign guys: Nurkik, Gallinari, Jokic
8. Pistons Stanley Johnson
Arizona | NBA comparison: Ron Artest
||| Not as athletic as you would think but he is a big and strong SF/SG like Artest and some people compare him to Kawaii but he isn't that long I don't think. The Pistons have a nice PG and PF and C but a solid wing player is desired.
9. Hornets Kristaps Porzingis
Sevilla, Latvia | NBA comparison: Pau Gasol
||| This is really a best player available pick as some mocks have him at #5 but I think Stein is a better prospect and the Nugs and Pistons don't really need a center. He is a great shooter and can run the floor probably better than Gasol.
10. Heat Kelly Oubre
Kansas | NBA comparison: Aaron Afflalo
||| This is a stretch here as some have him going late teens but I think the combine workouts will help him and he is a good athlete who maybe should have stayed another year at KU, he only averaged 8 ppg. The Heat need a solid wing to back up Wade and Deng, so either pick him or Decker or Booker.
